When running the games from the Might and Magic anthology collection, all the games run with the left side of the screen being outside the window so that I am missing about 20% of the screen (it displays a black bar on the right side.

Is there any way to correct this so it correctly shows the whole screen. This is mostly an issue with MM6, as I can play 1-5 by using Windowed mode.

I have the same problem. It's not crippling playing MM6 fullscreen, as I can still see everything I need to, but I've just started MM7 and among the lost screen real estate is my lead character's health bar, so now it's a problem.

Most times this issue comes up, we're told to check our driver settings for something that allows you to scale or stretch while preserving aspect ratio; unfortunately, my driver settings don't have that option. Hopefully yours do!

Yeah this sounds like a resolution-changing issue. What resolution does your monitor usually use? What graphics card do you have? It might be possible to fix by messing with your graphics card options.

Also, I've never used it myself, but maybe Greface's patch would help? You can find it in a sticky thread in this forum.
As the above posts have mentioned, changing graphics card settings should fix this...

But there might be another way. What monitor are you using? I had the same problem for games with 600x480 resolution. My old monitor had a "reset resolution" or something button that was much quicker to use (I had to press it again after exiting the game and returning to normal resolution though).
Thank you! The auto-reset on the monitor worked like a charm
